Gamma-glutamyl transferase-to-lymphocyte ratio as a prognostic marker in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing hepatectomy.

Background: We investigated the utility of gamma-glutamyl transferase-to-lymphocyte ratio (GLR) as a predictive indicator for postoperative survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) across different time periods and developed a predictive model based on this.

Aim: To evaluate the prognostic accuracy of GLR for overall survival (OS) in patients with HCC and its impact over time.

Methods: This study enrolled 301 patients with HCC treated with curative hepatectomy.

[Brief analysis on professor WU Lian-Zhong's academic thought].

Professor WU Lian-zhong's academic thought and relevant theories of WU's mind regulation needling technique, the needling technique of ascending the clear and descending the turbid, clinical evidence-based needling technique at special acupoints, as well as the operation methods are introduced in this paper. In application of The mind regulation needling technique and the needling technique of ascending the clear and descending the turbid, He emphasizes the and highlights the importance of the people and the interaction between physician and patient. The needling techniques lay the stresses on motivating meridian qi, adjusting the antipathogenic qi in the core of resuscitation and mind regulation.
